POSC 431 - Populism

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Political Science and Intl Relations

Description:

In this seminar, we will aim to gain a sharper understanding of the current wave of populism, its causes, its significance and its implications. This course has two distinct, but intertwined strands: a theoretical/conceptual and an empirical component. Theoretically and conceptually, we survey debates about what 'populism' means and how it should be understood. Empirically, we will survey debates about the causes of populism, white working class mobilization, Brexit, and we will read about the Philippine president and strongman Roderigo Duterte and Hungary's strongman Viktor Orbán, and other cases from Europe and across the world.
